If you know about catboats at all, you know that 1) the centerboard
dominates the cabin of the usual Cape Cod Cat designs, and 2) many are
very low inside. The boat is high-sided and doesn't have a
centerboard, so I'm sure the cabin would be a revelation to the
traditional catboater.

to the Leeboard Catboat design. It was from the west coast of the US,
and very nicely done. Pictures were printed in Messing About in Boats,
but I can't give you the date of publication. I don't remember if
there was a report on the sailing performance, but anyone interested
in a traditional cruiser shouldn't expect to keep up with the modern
race boats.
If you know about catboats at all, you know that 1) the centerboard
dominates the cabin of the usual Cape Cod Cat designs, and 2) many are
very low inside. The boat is high-sided and doesn't have a
centerboard, so I'm sure the cabin would be a revelation to the
traditional catboater.

I have been perusing BWAOM and came across the Leeboard Catboat
(Chapter 67, page 358) and was quite taken with the design. I
searched previous posts to get some idea of discussion on this boat.
My question for the more knowledgeable members is; Are there any
photos etc of a "live" boat. There was some discussion in previous
posts, but the link to photos did not work. Also has anuone out there
with personal experiemce of sailing the boat and/or living aboard.
Bolger indicates that the fiction written for this boat was based on
his own live-aboard experience (presumably on a boat of his own
design, ? AS29). Thanks in advance,
Cheers
